| Summary/Abstract |
Russians frequently engage in heated discussions about whether xenophobia is at the root of many large-scale conflicts. Some analysts - whom we shall call sporadic supporters of constructivism - hurl accusations at the mass media: there would be no phobias as a source of conflict if the media refrained from emphasizing the ethnic, racial, or religious identity of the conflicting sides or if they ignored such problems altogether. Supporters, also mostly sporadic, of the neo-institutional theory, which is more in fashion at present, object to such opinions and claim that conflicts arise out of flaws in the institutional system. If Russia were genuinely democratic and ruled by law, the fundamental prerequisites for ethnic and/or religious phobias would disappear.

| Summary/Abstract |
Criticism of multiculturalism is becoming a fashionable political trend in Europe, but it is drawing divergent responses in Russia. In the meantime, the meaning of the concept has not been completely clarified to this day, and the debate on the issue remains purely political. In this article I venture to present my own theory postulating that the weakening of the purely traditionalist ideology, as expressed in the concept of vulgar (simplified, emasculated) multiculturalism is due to fundamental historical trends - the rising and falling tides of modernization.

| Summary/Abstract |
Ethnic nationalism cannot be a strategic ally of the forces interested in Russia's modernization. Realizing the impossibility of a purely elitist modernization, these forces will inevitably need mass support and national consolidation. Consequently, they will need nationalism, although of a different strain - the civic one.
